Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.

So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

If you want warmth, body, musicality and organic. Get the Cerious Technology Graphene Extremes cables. 30 day trial.

Another choice if you cannot get Cerious in your area, I would try Blackcat cables with one of the copper based offerings. Blackcat is all about music, not analytical.

Hi guys, just got my 3400 and I'm wondering, it being all digital, should I use the supplied power cord or is it worth investing in a different one? What are your thoughts?

The opinion will be that yes, it will make a difference. But experiment for yourself and see. If you have an upgraded cable on another piece of equipment, try it and see if you perceive a difference. If no, then I would buy a cable you can return for a trial. Just because it's digital doesn't mean clean power isn't required. I spent a lot of money for a linear power supply for my music server/HTPC. It made a significant difference, as an example. There is nothing done analog with it's realm of influence.

Thank you for replying to my question. Since at the moment I leave in Israel, I actually made the purchase decision of this amp and a pair of upgraded Tekton DI's (Still waiting on Tekton to let me know when they will be ready for shipment), based on posts in forums and some pro reviews alone. It seam like a good place to start. I still have some old Cardas interconnects and speaker cables that I like and now will be looking for some digital and power cables as well. I also have a Synology DS716+ NAS that I intend to use as an audio server. Any suggestions will be great help.
